The Stolen Horse Went HON 9
From, the Poughkeepsie EAGLE.

About year ago young man named
Fred Patterson, of East Fishkill, was
arrested for stealing the horse of Mrs
Neal in Connecticut by man who said he
was a detective from Massachusetts, and
gave his name as Mcnamara. He told
wonderful stories of how he had tracked
Patterson, and Patterson was taken into
Massachusetts, as a prisoner, Mr.. Charles
Horton, of East Fishkill, believed Patterson
to be innocent, and coming to Poughkeepsie
gave his reasons for SO believing. Deputy
Sheriff Downey also came to the conclusion
that Patterson was innocent. Then with
Others he went to work to defend the pris-
oner, and the result was he was declared in
nocent and discharged. Now comes the Sc
quel The real thief has been captured and
has confessed, and Mrs Meals horse was
found few days ago in the town of Web
ster Mass. His tail had been cut off and
banged, his name had been cut off, and he
was emaciated and utterly broken down.
The parties having the animal would not
give him up, notwithstanding other parties
who knew the animal before he was stolen
fully identified him and a replevin suit fol
lowed Then came novel test for a further
Identification of the horse. The mans son
i'll Webster, Mass, brought the horse to the
town in Connecticut where Mrs. Neal lives,
and the animal was placed i'll livery stable
and fed. Afterward he was taken AMI
hitched to a carriage, and the agreement
wasthat the horse was to be allowed to go
whichever way he pleased to see if he would
go to the place from which he was stolen a
year ago last April. He went to the barn
and into "a certain stall that was to be the
final proof that ne was Mrs. Meals horse.
A large crowd of people collected to watch
the test. After the harness had been placed
on the horse he was hitched to the carriage
and, the reins hanging on the dashboard
with no one in the vehicle, the poor, ena-
ciated, homesicl; and abused animal, went
straight to the barn, the doors of which had
been left open, and entered stall No. ) with
a neigh and a snort, and inside of him he
probably sang Home, Sweet Home. This
settled the question Of Identification, and
the Massachutts boy went home to his father
with the story.
